Reginald (Trevor) walks up to the Navigator. "Hello good sir! From what I'm hearing, your'e pne pf the best navigators on the open sea!

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ::waves::

[Paul (JAA)] quit IMing BOB

[Finglass (mikE)] ((my world is a crotch!!!))

[DM] he nods quietly

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] oh boy...

[DM] he looks at you as he stands on the deck of the ship

[DM] watching yoru group mill about

[Paul (JAA)] Oh hellp Alastair

[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] just beware Finglass' pet lopeared bunny

[Paul (JAA)] Hello

[Paul (JAA)] Do we see a Griffon arround?

[DM] he looks quietly at you

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] I trust you and the little one have not been getting into trouble while I was um.... souting.... for a month..... and happened to find you in the island kingdoms even though I wasn't doing the scouting anywhere near them....

[DM] wait on that Marco

[DM] crew first

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] k

[Finglass (mikE)] no no. we managed to convince the lady kylia to allow us to accompany her on a quest here.

[DM] then you and jessica

[DM] with Kylia etc.

[DM] anyone going to actaully ask this crew man a question?

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: throws a glance to the Gnome and the Elf chatting::

[Finglass (mikE)] lady kylia, may i introduce out third feather, the Sir Alastair.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] I believe the interviews should be done as a group

[Grug] so i hear that your a cursed loser

[Laila (Jessica)] Jessica is typing in another screen at the moment, she has somethin to entertain you with

[Laila (Jessica)] poke me if i'm needed

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: motions for the jinxed elf to join the group::

[Reginald (Trevor)] I've heard the last few of your ships sunk. With you as the only survivor, that must have been some experience! Might I buy you an ale and you can tell me about the voyages? I'm fascinated by tales of the sea!

[DM] I do not drink when I am on the water

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] sure fight tooth an nail to keep out pcs, but a cursed elf says hey, and you're all over him, I know what you like now

[DM] and it was not three boats, it was three ships

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] you're a legolas lover!!!

[Grug] ok, i'll take your ale

[Finglass (mikE)] ::poses::

Paul (JAA) flies arround the boat

[Grug] how did they sink?

[DM] the first was sunk in a hurricane

[Grug] bummer

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: glares at the gnome::

[DM] the second was burned by pirates

[Grug] bastards

[DM] the third is technicaly ok,

[Grug] beautiful

[DM] it is just 1,000 miles from the ocean

[Paul (JAA)] LOL

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] with everyone in it dead

[Grug] how do you know?

[DM] (I will let the older players describe this one)

[Paul (JAA)] player knowledge

[Paul (JAA)] DS lore

[Grug] ah, that ship

[DM] go ahead fill them in Brian and John

[Reginald (Trevor)] I'm confuzzled.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] that's okay, so's most of the table

[Paul (JAA)] The DS were on a boat, whated to get home'

[Paul (JAA)] so we had afavor to bring us home

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ::giggles at the story::

[Paul (JAA)] Home was no where near water, so the Boat was turned into .... a bar

[Grug] i thought Barb was using it for her thieves guild

[DM] you want to tell this poor man who you are now

[DM] no it is in pag

[Grug] still?

[DM] nods,

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] so how'd the people in the third ship die?

[Grug] they didnt

[DM] no one ever came back,

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] he said he was the only survivor of 3 ships

[DM] I had to walk for months to get back to the ocean

[DM] it ruined my career

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] them deciding not to go back home isn't death

[DM] I have not gotten a job after that

[DM] I was the only survivor

[DM] except for that accused group that left me in the cold

[Grug] do we have a backup navigator on this ship?

[DM] yes, you can hire a differnet navigator

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] okay, so he hates ds's

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] he's cursed

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] and he's an evil drow

[Paul (JAA)] Tell him your the 3 fingers plus Grug

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] how many reasons do you NEED to leave him behind?

[Grug] no, do we already have a backup navigator on board?

[DM] not yet

[DM] this is the final hiring

[Grug] what is his name?

[DM] Elfad

[Reginald (Trevor)] Oh, he's even NAMED elf.

[Finglass (mikE)] he's got to go.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] and he has a lame name!

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] that's 4 reasons!

[Grug] yeah, Alastair is so much better

Paul (JAA) after getting back and hearing story joins Three feathers and calls himself Tall Feathers

[Grug] can the captain navigate?

[DM] yes,

[DM] he is hiring him because he will work for almost nothing

[Paul (JAA)] yea!

[DM] he looks at you, whipsers

[DM] he needs a break

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ::does the red mage thing and checks his character sheet.... with a pencil:: lookie that I have the navigation proficiency

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] lets dump him

[DM] it has been more than 10 years that he has been at sea

[DM] maybe the fates have forgotten about him

[Grug] grug likes elfad

[Finglass (mikE)] so he's also out of practice.

[DM] he deserves another chance

[Finglass (mikE)] great.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] sure he does

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] just not with us

[Laila (Jessica)] if he hates this group, he needs to not be here

[Laila (Jessica)] he is a liability

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] a liability would be a step up

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] he's a danger

[Laila (Jessica)] lol

Fritz has joined the game.

[Fritz] Howdy

[Finglass (mikE)] forget the big words. he's got five strikes.

[Paul (JAA)] hey! Fritz is here!

[Finglass (mikE)] last i checked, three got you out.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] friz'll killl him for sure!

[Laila (Jessica)] ok, so if Alastair can do his navigation job, elfgad is not needed

[Reginald (Trevor)] I've checked his items, listened to his story, I think he'd be extremely useful on the trip.

[Reginald (Trevor)] He's just had a run of bad luck.

[Fritz] Gotcha...ok...explain to him we are the next of the next generation of Dragon Slayers. If he wishes to join us he must take off all his magic items and place them on the floor and be willing to undergo a lie detection test and intense questioning. If so we may be able to use him and help restart his career. If not he is out of luck

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: raises brow at Reign:: I'm not in favor of that. I wouldn't be willing to that for strangers... I don't think it's right to ask someone else to do it

[Paul (JAA)] We were the curse

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] bob wouldn't give this guy to us for anything good

[Reginald (Trevor)] He has a weapon, an earring of protection, boots that help him stick to the ship in rough water, and a pelican figurine that can turn into a giant pelican on command.

[Paul (JAA)] weeeeeee

[DM] he looks angrily at Reginald

[Reginald (Trevor)] I'm with Kylia on this. He's just a guy who'se been shafted. Been there, done that, got the jerkin.

[DM] he is not happy to have his items talked about like that

[Laila (Jessica)] i wouldt be either

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] you know I'm going to be on the I told you so train when this falls on our heads

[Grug] you can talk about my ITEMS, everyone always does, because they are so impressive

[Finglass (mikE)] after i do.

Reginald (Trevor) looks at him and tells him "I had to verify nothing was cursed. It's a safety precaution you see. Sorry to air your dirty laundry, but this information is pertinent to the people who will be deciding wether you go on the trip or not."

[Laila (Jessica)] i have a feeling that this could be bad, and i am the least experienced person here

Robert has joined the game.

[Grug] lol

[Grug] holy shit

[Finglass (mikE)] well, doing anything bob says is bad.

[Paul (JAA)] Hey who invited Robert

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Look, It's Mr. "we are the curse" himself

[Laila (Jessica)] hi Robert, whoever you are

[Grug] sup Robert

[Paul (JAA)] He is the curse

[Fritz] Look if you are desperate enough to come seeking work you should be open to scrutiny...call it a urine drug screen if y ou will.

[Finglass (mikE)] i thought we all agreed not to let robert in.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] GMTA John

[Grug] is that our robert or a diff one?

[DM] gmta?

[Robert] what different one?

[Grug] Grand Ma Takes Acid

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] GMTA = Great Minds Think Alike ;o)

[Paul (JAA)] ahhhhhh

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] We got a new Robert while you deserted us ;oo)

[DM] none of those around here that is why we missed it

[Robert] 'tis I! Robert the great! Robert the amazing! Robert the..... what do you mean I'm dead?

[Grug] Cats suck

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] got hit by a bus, very tragic

[Finglass (mikE)] i thought it stood for 'get more tits and ass'. guess i was wrong.

[Robert] gee nice time to join,eh?

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] there's never a nice time

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] so are we sending this elf on his way yet?

[Laila (Jessica)] (mikesmindisinthegutteragain)

[DM] the good old island kingdoms, john, fritz, brian, robert

[Robert] I need a tattoo

[Finglass (mikE)] again? what do you mean again? it never left.

[Paul (JAA)] you need character first

[Robert] Bob.. you may want to check on that

[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Shall we play a game?

[Robert] sorry

[Paul (JAA)] yea right

[Paul (JAA)] I can't see now

[Fritz] Ok kick his ass out

[Robert] Damn I'm like a bull in a china shop

Fritz is now controling Reign Tandem

[Grug] thats what he calls it "Editing Effects", just leave my effects alone

[Robert] I was trying to type something

[Robert] then everyone turned yellow

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] yeah, I hate that

[Laila (Jessica)] (is still typing in another screen, but check periodically, wants her effect to be unedited as well..lol)

[DM] you were selecting all

[Robert] and it said something about changing effects

[Paul (JAA)] Robert is the One

E. L. Fudge (Sean) has edited Reign Tandem's effects.

[Grug] lol

BiBo!!! has edited Varn Bjalmgar's effects.

[DM] stop that

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Take THAT

[Laila (Jessica)] LOL

[Reginald (Trevor)] So anyway, I try to convince the party Elfad is a decent guy who might prove extremely useful.

[Laila (Jessica)] he is dangerous

[DM] all in favor?

[Laila (Jessica)] from what i can tell

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] nay

[Grug] aye

[Paul (JAA)] I agree

[DM] who votes for keepinng him

[Laila (Jessica)] nay

[Laila (Jessica)] no keep

[Reginald (Trevor)] I vote to keep him.

[Paul (JAA)] I vote keep

[Reginald (Trevor)] I checked him out thoroughly, bob presented him as bad luck, therefor he be good luck.

Grug behind Alastair and Laila "AYE!!" in disguised voices

[Reginald (Trevor)] It's the first mate I'm worried about :-P

[Laila (Jessica)] (hety)

[Laila (Jessica)] (i make my own decisons thank you)

[Finglass (mikE)] i'm worried too.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] no no, you watch, our ship will sink, why you think bob's so concerned about water breathing and swimming?

[Finglass (mikE)] i'm worried she might be taken.

[Laila (Jessica)] lol

[Grug] we do have at least one female in the crew tho, right?

[DM] yes the first mate

[Finglass (mikE)] I saw her first, grug.

[Laila (Jessica)] lol

[Reginald (Trevor)] Hey, Water breathing lasts long enough for me to sleep and memorize more water breathing, so I can theoretically walk all the way across the ocean floor if I need to. I'm not worried.

[Fritz] If you are sure he is not evil and he was with the other DS I see no reason not to bring him

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] But I brought a chasity belt for her Grug, so don't get an ideas

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] you try and memorize from a spell book that's underwater

[Paul (JAA)] try casting under water

[Grug] that would have to be a big belt

Reginald (Trevor) runs to the printers and laminates his spellbook.
[Robert] good idea

[Grug] brb

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] fine, take him ::warms up the engines for the I told you so train::

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ::Kinkos posts a sign> YOU MUST BE AT LEAST THIS TALL TO LAMINATE :: Sign is 5 inches taller than the Gnome

[Reginald (Trevor)] Bob, what ARE the rules for casting underwater?

[Paul (JAA)] you will see, snicker

[Reginald (Trevor)] No, seriously :-P

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] they go by spell

[Finglass (mikE)] so. mooving on?

[DM] he is staying?

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] each spell has it's own rule

[Robert] mooooooooooo

[Finglass (mikE)] he got a majority voet.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] it's not something we wanna get into

[DM] no question mark he is staying

[DM] and next

[DM] Alastair and Lalia

[DM] introduce what you want to do

[DM] Marco you go

[Laila (Jessica)] well, i am not quite ready for that yet, so i will allow Alastair to go first

[Laila (Jessica)] Laila Lightfoot is scared. This is her first solo mission and she has the strangest feeling she has already goofed it. She lies hidden in the shadows of the wine barrels, watching the shore guards search her boat. Laila curses under her breath and hopes they leave without searching too much. She does not want to be discovered.

Varn Bjalmgar (Robert) throws dead bird at Grug

[Laila (Jessica)] Laila thinks back over the last few hours, running through the things she did in preparation for this trip. As far as she can figure, she has done it all correctly. She is sure she had the guards’ routine down, but it is becoming more and more obvious that she is wrong. Laila sits quietly, barely breathing as the guards walk past the barrels she is hidden behind. The guards pass, and Laila trails them for a bit, keeping to the shadows, to see where they go. When she is sure that they are leaving the harbor, she turns back to her boat and begins loading the barrels.

[Laila (Jessica)] stops

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] I'm guessing theif... ANyone else?

[Laila (Jessica)] (its already written in this way, i was gonna do this another way, but here, deal withit)

[DM] sounds like a dragon slayer to me

[Grug] lol

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] no doubt a dragon slayer

[Grug] since it says Thief when you hover over her icon, i would agree

[Paul (JAA)] not yet

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] D'OH!!

[Laila (Jessica)] Laila sighs and allows herself to be put in restraints. She knows it will be much worse if she fights. Laila silently curses herself as the guardsman marches her through town to the prison. She enters the cell he shows her to, sits down, and begins to cry. She cant believe she has allowed herself to get caught. Now she faces death, and she is too young to die.

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] rofl

[Reginald (Trevor)] I missed something.

[Laila (Jessica)] The guard tells Laila she will face the court in the morning and leaves her to her crying. She resigns herself to accept the fates as they fall, and tries to get some sleep. Morning comes and the guard with it. “Time to go, little one,” he growls at her, as he places the restraints on her again. Laila remains silent, simply following along as she is told.

[Laila (Jessica)] Laila stands before the law men, silently. The guard who caught her is explaining what happened. One of the law men, Alastair by name, turns to Laila. “Do you have anything to say for yourself, Halfling?”

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] ooo this is getting good

[Grug] bat those eye lashes girl

[Laila (Jessica)] Laila takes a deep breath and begins explaining how this was the first time she had ever done this wine smuggling thing and she will never do it again if they just let her go home. “I’m scared and I am very sorry. I just want to go home, I wont bother you again.”

[Laila (Jessica)] Alastair ponders this and says, “I will not allow them to put you to death, but I will not allow you to go home either. I am about to go on an adventure, you will go with me, I will see you properly rehabilitated. You will be allowed to return to your home when I feel you are ready to be a let into society again. We leave tomorrow at dawn.” With that, Alastair turns and walks out. Laila is led back to the prison to wait for a new dawn, and this is where the story goes, “to be continued”

[Laila (Jessica)] (i'm done)

[Paul (JAA)] yea!

[Grug] paladins are suckers

[Finglass (mikE)] zzzzzz....

[DM] now now

Laila (Jessica) thwaps mike

[Laila (Jessica)] i put a lot of work into that

Varn Bjalmgar (Robert) applauds

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] very nicely done

[DM] you did fine

[Laila (Jessica)] thank you

[Trevor] Bravo! Good work Jessica.

[Laila (Jessica)] thanks

[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] What a sentence ...

[Laila (Jessica)] lol

[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] cruel AND unusual

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] yep, essentially death

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] poor thing

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] it's a nice way of sentencing you to death

[Paul (JAA)] Sounds a little like one of my characters Kira Fancy

[Grug] bob, does anyplace in town sell birds in little cages?

[DM] no

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] oh gosh

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] LOL

[Laila (Jessica)] what are you talkin about?

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] rofl!!

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: laughs :: Death sentence... she is traveling with a Marco character

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] only if robert can turn it into a zombie

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] Not this character unfortunately

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] no birds then

[Grug] i need a missile weapon

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paul (JAA)] Gartoom has a missle weapon, locked and loaded

[Laila (Jessica)] if i die, it wont be the first character i've lost

[Laila (Jessica)] nor will it be the first i've lost with Bibo

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] or the last

[Laila (Jessica)] nope

[Paul (JAA)] I think I see your problem jes

[Laila (Jessica)] BiBo?

[Laila (Jessica)] lol

[midnite] I am away from the keyboard.

[midnite] I am back at the keyboard.

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] who's that?

[Laila (Jessica)] what was that?

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] a fly on the wall

[Grug] that was midnite

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ever feel like you're being watched?

[Paul (JAA)] who, what, Is someone reading my mind

[Reginald (Trevor)] Can we get on with game?

[Grug] the invisible character

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] that's the person doing the watching

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] or people

[Laila (Jessica)] ?????

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] since it's technically 2

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Umm... we have been Trevor. Grug...your turn for character development ;O)

[Paul (JAA)] in Bob's worl where you get level handed to you and you can spend the XP

[Finglass (mikE)] so i do think they should get dibs.

[Jessica] I am back at the keyboard.

[Finglass (mikE)] sorry fritz, but reign hardly needs as much help as they do.

[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] That is why I dont believe levels should matter. It should be by exp points. Theif will get a higher level faster than a cleric. Does that mean they should come after a cleric?

[Finglass (mikE)] you're just too good.

[Paul (JAA)] So because I am all powerful I should get nother. How do you think I became all powerfull

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Yes... she is higher level. As is Paul.

[Finglass (mikE)] shutup john. you got all of bibo's last character's stuff.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] if you do it by magic items it'll make things more fair because the people with fewer magic items probably need em more than those with the most

[Finglass (mikE)] i remember the happy golum dance. i remember!

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] If you spend your XP on buying magic items versus having the XP, I don't think that's right either. It should be level

Laila (Jessica) stares at the screen in a stupor as all the pretty words go by

midnite has left the game.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] or you could just roll a d20 and see who rolls highest

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] then we wouldn't have a debate

[Paul (JAA)] I sugested that already

[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] What ever this is a Roll playing thing anyway do whatever you want

[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Take what you will how you will

[DM] ok

[DM] you all there?

[Laila (Jessica)] yeha

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] John, I'm fine with rolling a dice too.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] apparently you werent

[Finglass (mikE)] i think lorie should give it all to patrice.

[Laila (Jessica)] LOL

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Frtiz since you're so determined to go first for whatever it is you want... just take it and let's move on

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: shrugs :: You asked me to decide... I decided and then you don't like the decision.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] You want to lead... then lead.

[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] I am not even paying attention until you mention my name. Do what ever you want lorie

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: shrugs ::

[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] I am typing up characters

[Reginald (Trevor)] Is there any chance I might get ONE of the items, or have we established they are exclusively for DSers? I'm not complaining, was just woindering.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ::gets ready to light the bag of stuff on fire::

[Finglass (mikE)] it's been established a looooong way up.

[Finglass (mikE)] lorie listed the members.

[Laila (Jessica)] Trevor, we get nothin

midnite has joined the game.

[Laila (Jessica)] Lorie said who gets stuff

[Reginald (Trevor)] That's what I figured.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Fritz, I've said my peace on the matter.

[Finglass (mikE)] her piece too...

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] John, we can just roll. I was just trying to provide parity. You want an elaborate role playing session to take the items, we can do that too

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: shrugs :: Let me know when we move on to a new subject

[Lorie] I am away from the keyboard.

[Paul (JAA)] There will be stuff for evryone, we are trying to role play character development, not just give stuff to new character that are strangers

[Fritz] Look Lorie I spent most of the damn night making maps for the game. You are the one who asked me a question. Do what you want. I have been typing up my characters minding my business. Do as you wish I dont give a rats ass

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] an elaborate role playing session sounds a lot like hey lets argue over it some more

[Grug] i also provide parity

[Paul (JAA)] Lets just role, pick from high to low

[Paul (JAA)] Roll #1: (d20) [7] 7

midnite is receiving the map...

[Fritz] Bob I will have all the stats for the boat later but so you know it has 2 ballista and 1 trebuche, I believe it is 6 large xbows and 6 light xbows but I will have to recount, also a battering ram

[DM] to move along

[DM] you can not have Trebuche on a ship

[Lorie] I am away from the keyboard.

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] well?

[Fritz] rocks

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] did we signal?

[Grug] moving on

[DM] you sail northwards

[Finglass (mikE)] look both ways?

[Grug] moving on

[DM] you enter an area that is not frequented by the navy of any of the local islands

[Finglass (mikE)] oops.

[Grug] does this area have a name?

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ::readies the cannons::

[Finglass (mikE)] is this the pirate's hunting ground?

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] sounds like our kind of place

[DM] the captain says that this is a short cut that Elfad knows

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] we're doomed

[Finglass (mikE)] how are we supposed to sink the navy's ships if they don't come here?

[Finglass (mikE)] oh god...

[DM] you sail

[DM] out into the deep

[Grug] shit, our dispel magic guy left

[DM] the ship is out of sight of land

[Grug] sweet

[Finglass (mikE)] not like everyone else doesn't have them.

[DM] for the first time

[Laila (Jessica)] we are at the mercy of an evil elf

Varn Bjalmgar (Robert) sings a little shanty song

[Grug] I tell Elfad taht we can cure him of his curse

[DM] the first mate tells you that you are crossing what is known at the kraken alley

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] what do you do with a drunken sailor

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] what do you do with a drunken sailor

[DM] an area filled with turtles

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] what do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning

[DM] and sea dragons amoung other things

[Finglass (mikE)] shave his balls with a rusty razor

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] big turtles?

[Finglass (mikE)] shave his balls with a rusty razor.. dragons?

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] we're all gonna die

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] lucky week for you eh?

[DM] Elfad does not beleive he is cursed

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] we should just stop here and let the island come to us

[DM] the island of Balneal is ruled by high elves

[Finglass (mikE)] you mean drow.

[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] they got good ganja?

[DM] Elfad sails the ship towards it

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] a HA

[Finglass (mikE)] black sails?

[Paul (JAA)] Does the Captain look calm

[DM] as you pull up

[DM] towards the ship

[Finglass (mikE)] he asks for his brown pants

[Grug] any flags sailing?

[DM] the captian looks at your group

[DM] and says to behave

[DM] this might be touchy

Laila (Jessica) under her breath "we should have left Elfad behind when we had the chance"

[DM] as the ships sail closer to each other

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: quietly begins to chant to grant the party some support ::

[DM] two figure fly up off of the deck of the other ship

[DM] and dive into the ocean

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] PULL!!

[Finglass (mikE)] knocks his bow

[DM] disapearing under the waves

Laila (Jessica) covers eyes

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] they're drilling our ship you know

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] this can't be good

[DM] a voice calls out

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] I'd check the bottom of the boat for holse

[DM] who sails in the golden waters of BNalneal

[Paul (JAA)] I look at the Captain to see if he intends to answer

[DM] the captain looks at your group

Finglass (mikE) looks at kylia

[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oooh, a mexican standoff!

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] the muffin man?

[Grug] Me Grug

[Finglass (mikE)] without the mexican

[Paul (JAA)] //me I am Paul, Protectorate of the Norther Trade route

[DM] the captain shrugs,

midnite has left the game.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ::can't answer, is chanting to grant the party +1/-1::

[DM] he looks at Paul

[DM] shakes his head

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] You're up Paul

[Finglass (mikE)] /looks to paul, then.

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] tell them something good

Laila (Jessica) looks to Paul

[DM] the Captain calls out to raise a white flag

[DM] and he pulls down the sails

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] uh oh

[DM] to allow the other ship approach

[Grug] raise a white flag?

[Paul (JAA)] We are seeking information, we come in peace

[DM] as they come along side

[Grug] like surrender?

midnite has joined the game.

[DM] you see several elven archers

midnite is receiving the map...

midnite has received the map.

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] no, like we come in peace

[Finglass (mikE)] and they see me, too.

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] raise the damn flag

[Grug] yeah, but no one cares about you

[DM] one of the elven guards from the other ship

[Grug] you're just an elf

[DM] swings over on a rope from the mast of his ship

[DM] and lands on the deck of yours

[DM] he looks at the captain

[Paul (JAA)] greetings

[DM] he looks at Elfad

[Varn Bjalmgar (Robert)] ooooooo very dramatic

[DM] he looks at Paul

[DM] and the group of you on the deck

[DM] who are you

[DM] and why do you travel with this pariah

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] I told you!!!

[Grug] Me Grug

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] bad luck!!

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ::fires up the train::

[Paul (JAA)] thinks ::they must be the opisite of Wingstone::

[Finglass (mikE)] ::hops aboard::

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ::gets ready for a long ride on the I told you so train::

[DM] the captain looks at the group

Laila (Jessica) looks back

[DM] and then back at the elf from the other ship

[Grug] what pariah?

[Paul (JAA)] Elfad

[DM] the captain says,

[Paul (JAA)] whispers

[DM] we will not land on your soil

[DM] we are only passing around on our way north

[DM] the elf frowns

[Grug] why Elfad take us here if elves not like him?

[DM] the captain frowns are you

Laila (Jessica) in a whisper "he os a bad ellf"

[Laila (Jessica)] *is

[Grug] i got that, thx

[Laila (Jessica)] lol

[DM] the captain says he will keep to thier course

[DM] if they will allow that

[DM] the elf looks at your group

[Grug] but if Elfad knew he was not liked here, why would he come here?

[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] because he wants us all dead

[DM] the elf looks around,

[Paul (JAA)] we come in peace, we will respect your wishes

[DM] then steps up to the railing

[DM] holding onto the rope

[Finglass (mikE)] he hates the DS, remember? If I recall correctly, that was strike no. 2
